Burnley bowed out of the Capital One Cup in controversy as Matt Taylor’s late penalty handed West Ham a quarter final place.
The tightest of games looked destined for extra time when Jason Shackell was ruled to have bundled over Kevin Nolan in the area, despite clearly winning the ball. And Taylor exacted the punishment with a clinical penalty to hand the Clarets their first defeat in two months. A stoppage time penalty from Jack Collison, as Burnley went for broke, also compounded the misery as Keith Treacy was dismissed for a professional foul on the West Ham substitute. Earlier Kieran Trippier had come closest to breaking the deadlock with a free kick that struck the Hammers crossbar. But it proved to be a frustrating night for Sean Dyche’s men, who can now put all their efforts into their league campaign. Burnley made four changes to the side that emphatically defeated QPR at Turf Moor four days earlier. Michael Kightly dropped to the bench in favour of former Hammers winger Junior Stanislas, while Kevin Long replaced Michael Duff at the heart of the defence.

Treacy.

Only a 1 match ban for Treacy I suspect. It's violent conduct that gets a 3 match ban I think.
